Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai will reveal plans to his fellow commissioners on Tuesday to fully dismantle the agency's Obama-era net neutrality regulations, people familiar with the plans said, in a major victory for the telecom industry in the long-running policy debate.

The commission will vote on the proposal in December, some seven months after it laid the groundwork for scuttling the rules that require internet service providers like Comcast or AT&T to treat web traffic equally.

President Donald Trump-appointed Pais plan would jettison rules that prohibit internet service providers from blocking or slowing web traffic or creating so-called paid internet fast lanes, the people familiar with the changes said.

Pai also will follow through on his plans to scrap the legal foundation that the FCCs old Democratic majority adopted in 2015 to tighten federal oversight of internet service providers, a move he contends has deterred the industry from investing in broadband networks. Internet providers have feared that legal foundation, if left in place, could set the stage for possible government price regulation of internet service.


We need to stop these fuckers.

Haven't they tried to make this a law a bunch of times now?

What's different this time?

Nothing because it won't go through. There will be an announcement it's changing and the changes will be revealed throughout the rest of the year. However, with each of these changes the FCC will face court battle after court battle that will side against them as the burden is on the FCC to prove certain things, things that don't jive with reality. The ACLU is already priming up to fight it, along with major companies like Google and Amazon.
I'm not saying we shouldn't care, but it's all doom and gloom where it assumes that there aren't checks and balances. The justice system will make the FCC back the fuck down, allowing time for a Democrat to get into office and take control of congress, cementing net neutrality.

22,000 public comments were submitted to the FCC on this issue. FCC has basically no obligation to read or consider any of them in their decision tho. Not much people can do at this stage unfortunately. Just gotta elect better people.

And plenty of people called their statesmen. That's really all you can do other than start a petition which will be equally fruitless

On a side note I remember someone posting a topic about bots sending countless messages in favor of the repeal. They'll do anything they can to get it removed

He's largely had issues with other bills due to budget. FCC repealing this has no effect on the budget so it's more likely to actually succeed then repealing the ACA or his tax cuts.

Because
1. They have passed laws, just not the high profile ACA repeal
2. This is an FCC decision, not a law that needs to go through Congress.
